Website: Novamechanica
Nova Mechanica SA was founded in late 2007, is an independent, small-size enterprise, based in Larisa – Greece. The Scientific research fields of expertise are Mechanics, Nanotechnology, New Materials and Materials Assessment, Metrology and ‘High Performance Diagnostics’, Textiles – Bio textiles, Indenters and Bio-sensors. The company collaborates closely with the 4 Institutes of CE.RE.TE.TH., as well as leading academic institutions and researchers nationally and internationally ready to undertake any project in relevant research fields, supported by our professional partners.
The company’s business aim is the promotion and sale of pioneering commercial ‘High Value Added Products and Concepts’ with innovative applications ready to be sold to potential customers, always related to scientific research in the fields of Mechanics ,Nanotechnology and Strength of materials, the measurement of mechanical attributes of advanced materials of systems, the Designing and Development of new Complex materials with special attributes and high commercial value, as well as the growth of systems of qualitative control of production and Lifecycle-monitoring of materials in various operation systems.
The applications address needs of the manufacturing industry, the biomedical and biotechnology industries and the developers of micro-nano electronic systems, based on the growth of new materials (functionally graded composites, high-tech textiles, semi –gels, gels) with special/specific characteristics.
Potential customers of this category are interested in new technologies that allow material optimisation possibilities through their mechanical characterization. Such enterprises constitute large or medium size industries producing rubber / elastic and plastic materials, composite materials, structural materials (steel, cement), medical products, diagnostic devices, products used by the defence industries, enterprises that are active in steel production and construction, as well as several research Institutes.
As we understand the R&D strategy of the science-product formation leads to uniquely highly commercial market applications, offering high market value and pioneering product advantages.
We have filed two patents in the Greek Patent Office related to the indentation of rubber-like materials and biomaterials :
1) Modified indenter tip and method for the extraction of mechanical properties of elastomers, human and animal tissues, through indentation tests, ΟΒΙ nr.1006426 , 11/06/2009 .
2) Pretension mechanism and method for the extraction of mechanical properties of elastomers, human and animal tissues, trough indentation tests, ΟΒΙ nr.1006457 , 29/06/2009 .
and we are planning to apply for European Patent protection, according to the European Law of patent priority .
Our core services are :
- Sale of ‘Scientific Intellectual Property’ related products/applications
- R&D Projects on Demand
Our scientific products are related with our research fields of expertise as Mechanics, Nanotechnology, New Materials and Materials Assessment, Metrology and ‘High Performance Diagnostics’, Textiles – Bio textiles, Indenters and Bio-sensors.
